100 More Mistakes Brazilians Make in English - Paperback

by Andrew Creelman (Author)

"Are you joking? What I said in English in my meeting yesterday was wrong? The mistake I made sounded sexual? Oh no, I am so embarrassed!" Unfortunately, I often hear this type of comment in my English classes. You see, most English textbooks are not written specifically for Brazilians. Of course, most books won't talk about embarrassing mistakes either. Well, that is where 100 More Mistakes Brazilians Make in English is different! In this book you can expect to read about things Brazilians say (often without realising) that will probably make a native English speaker laugh. I am referring to those common mistakes that are either going to sound sexual, could embarrass the person you're talking to or could just sound very, very funny! Knowing these mistakes is one thing, but being able to remember them when speaking English is another. So, as well as pointing out many common errors, this book also offers tips, explanations and review activities, to make those mistakes a thing of the past.If your English is of an upper intermediate/advanced level and you are interested in knowing the mistakes your English teacher hears on a daily basis (those mistakes you definitely don't want to make in meetings with your international colleagues) then this is the book for you! So, how many of these 100 mistakes do you make?
